on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you may have also noticed that native English speakers sometimes use these words when they\u2019re not talking about the weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you follow the conversation, this post will go over the most common weather expressions that aren\u2019t about the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"English_expressions_related_to_wind\"><\/span>English expressions related to wind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_wind_of_v\"><\/span>Get wind of (v.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you \u201cget wind of\u201d something, you \u201cfind out about (something that is supposed to be a secret).\u201d For example, if you are planning a surprise birthday party for someone, you probably don\u2019t want them to \u201cget wind of\u201d your plans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some more examples:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\"><mdspan datatext=\"el1669705832561\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">I wonder how mom got wind of our plan to sneak out tonight.<\/mdspan><\/strong><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\">If the boss gets wind of this mistake, we\u2019ll be fired.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n<p><mdspan datatext=\"el1669705934398\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">Native English speakers usually use \u201cget wind of\u201d a clue or a small part of the information or plan, which allows them to then find out the rest of it. This comes from hunting, when an animal, such as a hunting dog, might smell, or \"get wind of\" another animal, and then be able to follow or find it.<\/mdspan><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also hear people say \u201ccatch wind of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_breeze_n\"><\/span>A breeze (n.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA breeze\u201d is an informal expression you can use when you want to say that something is very easy for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\">If you\u2019re a professional chef, making dinner for your family must be a breeze.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\">Max thought that starting his own business would be a breeze, but it wasn\u2019t.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n<p><mdspan datatext=\"el1669706496596\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">Why is \u201cbreeze\u201d used this way? It comes from the expression \"to breeze through\" something. You can think of it like this: The original meaning of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/breeze\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAACz1zA\">breeze<\/a>\u201d is \u201ca light, gentle wind,\u201d so if you're able to \"breeze through\" something, you can do it without much effort or difficulty. So if something is a \"breeze\" - it's easy!<\/mdspan><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples of the original expression.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\">Taylor breezed through her final exams.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\">The team breezed into first place.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"English_expressions_related_to_rain\"><\/span>English expressions related to rain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rainy_day_n\"><\/span>Rainy day (n.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u201crainy day\u201d is a time in the future when you may need money.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-chat-bubble pos-left\"><div class=\"unified-chat-bubble-user\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/09\/02024557\/avatar-41.jpeg\" class=\"unified-chat-bubble-avatar\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\"><div class=\"unified-chat-bubble-name\">Bev<\/div><\/div><div class=\"unified-chat-bubble-content\"><div class=\"block-align-none\">Why do you save so much of your salary every month?

I guess I\u2019m just saving for <strong>a rainy day<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Why is \u201crainy day\u201d used this way? If you think of sunny days as periods of time when your life is going well, then rainy days are like periods of time when your life does not go as smoothly as you\u2019d like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rain_on_someones_parade_v\"><\/span>Rain on someone\u2019s parade (v.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine that a <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/parade\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAADaMA\">parade<\/a> is happening in your city and it suddenly starts to rain very hard. The parade will need to be canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the rain ruined the event and everyone\u2019s mood, native English speakers use the expression \u201crain on (someone\u2019s) parade\u201d to describe an action that stops other people from enjoying something or going ahead with their plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\">Sorry to rain on your parade, but the car broke down, so the road trip is cancelled.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"unified-block unified-sentences block-align-none\"><strong class=\"unified-sentences-title\">Don\u2019t let him get to you.
